This collection of files represents the results of my work so far to recover and preserve the various missions, worlds, information, mods and miscellaneous files made by fans since the release of M1 Tank Platoon II in 1998. In particular, I have tried to save and track down the content that was available on "The Unofficial M1TP Edits And Missions Site". Much of what was available there was not archived by waybackmachine, and had to be tracked down through former users. Some other sources were also found elsewhere. Luckily there are many former members who are still passionate about this old gem of a game, and who were more than willing to share these files.
In addition, I have tried to gather content from other sites that was linked to by "The Unofficial M1TP Edits And Missions Site". An example of this is the quite deep and informative strategy guide written by GameSpot. Except for a few pictures, most of this was well archived and I have made a nice PDF out of the website pages. I also created a PDF from the user mission description site on the "Unofficial" page, as most of the user missions posted has no description included.
Due to the wide range of content I have renamed some files to better reflect what it contains, and I have tried to reorganize it all in a good manner, while trying to keep in line with the spirit of the old website. I hope that this can inspire to more user creation and modding for this game. The archive also includes Larry Hookins nice "M1Edit" version 2c, with which you can quite easily create your own maps and scenarios, in addition to a lot of information regarding the structure of the game, its worlds and how the missions are made.
Many thanks to user "agathosdaimon" from SimHQ, who kindly contributed many files directly to me, and also to user "RandomPinhead" who had shared a large folder that luckily contained many of the original fan files, as well as yet unseen modding files made by him. I have taken the liberty
to include those here. Also thanks to John "Spoons" Sponauer for hosting and running the original M1TP2 fansite back in the day, and for the excellent content posted there by all the various fans. Without it this recovery project would have been very difficult if not impossible.
If anyone should possess more files relevant to M1TP2 that are not in this archive, please consider reaching out to me. I will update the archive as new discoveries are made. Also, if anyone makes new mods or missions for the game it would be great to have them in this archive. I plan to make my own mods for M1 Tank Platoon II available here in the future.
